🍀 Recognizing Outstanding Young Men of Camp County 4-H! 🍀

Today, the Pittsburg City Council had the honor of recognizing Zachary, Wade, Justin, Westin, and Cooper for an incredible act of service.

While traveling to compete at the State Games, heavy rains and flooded bridges prevented them from making the tournament. But instead of focusing on their disappointment, these young men stepped up to help unload and distribute food and supplies to those impacted by flooding along the Frio River in Concan, Texas.

Their actions are a wonderful example of character, compassion, and service to others.

Camp County, these young men represented our community well when it mattered most — and tonight, we were proud to recognize them for it! 👏❤️

Way to go, Zachary, Wade, Justin, Westin, and Cooper! You make Pittsburg and Camp County proud!
